 IT did not know girls better; if. in f,c. I mad not been years ago girl myself Isbo,,,5 assume that Easter morn womb t;rs ,'-i,, rows on rows of pretty girls on thejr t,,ac, With thoughts on the litany and inc bcol- ~ common prayer. Girls are bunn,, ,l,.-I, heaven, very human. and it does my b.a-, gooi to have this last confidential t,T- on clothes. tam oii
 rHst' by way of moral, let me sneak of n renectlon have made or rather been roaliro tnis morning. Luckily enough, the caDtois oI the French mail steamer did mol see fi- to mistake North Carolina for New Jersey or Long Island for his pier. As a cons.rpenca mere has come tO hand very precious lonp looAed Tor budget of magazines. French and french to the very last gasp. They are not laShion magazines in any sense of the word Dut there Is due attention to womanlllud. french magazine, like a Frenchman himself, would be Ill at ease far from femininity.
 Women, old and young; benes. beautiful and ugly, adorn these pages as they do our own private life. And the thing that struck me particularly, and that l am now using Tor my moral Is, How Frenchman delirbts Tn an ugly woman
 Dehshting is not necessarily loving or making love to. It is a much more subtle and delicate form of admiration than nak- Ing love, this celighting; much more.
 The Frenchman paints the ugly woman's picture and stands before it in rant aduira- non. He designs her gowns, her wraps and her hats, and walks around her with his hand on his heart. It is bis ambition in q way that does it. He creates her and gives her her being. Then, like many another creature, be lets her rest.
 What has this tO do with fashions! Every thing. Pretty women, as a rule, can look out for themselyes-and do. As whatever they wear looks well on them, and they are Tree 10 follow their own sweet will, it follows that they do not yearn for extraneous ad- vice Perhaps the ugly woman does not yearn for 1t either, but even so, she gets it Sometimes she neeis it.
 The advice that l mean is not complete Book for Ugly Girls, but 6 general awals- ening to the possibilities of ones self, and de termination to foster those possibilities to the utmost. Good skin; perfect skin. Good hair; immaculate hair. Good eyes: clear. healthy, Eappr eyes Good mouth; clear teeth and a happy curl to the corner. God ngUre; tight gowns. Bad fsure-art. tic gowns and trust to luck for the craze to last.
 On, an ugly woman Is to be envied ra.aer than pit.ed If she knows which side is her bl st side. ln the first place, other women won't get jealous of her, same a5 they do of pretty women, without rhyme or reason. In ;he second place, she will be forgiven her extra aasz~sa Col a-H a. hapS unlatteriu--'P Poor thing, she needs 1t ell" And last. but not least, if she be Eu- man, same as most Of US are, every triumph will be balm to her soul, doubly sweet be- cause Of the disadvantages of the case
 Another thing, tacro is a deadly fascina- ton about a sweet tempered and clever ugly woman. You are continually growing cool, with the idea that at last she no longer pleases you, then growing hot when doubly brilliant-her flashes of fascination, like Ma csuley's fashes of silence, prove utterly ire sistible.
 Oh, mol do not pity the ugly woman pro vided she is wise. Those that love her love her twice as well as a merely pretty woman Is ever loved, and she knows it. They sppre- ciate the clevernsss which can triumph over everything, and so does she.
 But when We find an ugly woman who has, | as it were. left all hope behind, what are we to doP
 It is unpromising situation, is it noti And nothing IS to be done except talk Talk is | like the proverbial rain to these ugly ducks | IL may, however, like that, set them awhile | later to pluming themselves.
 The one great obstacle in the way of | would be missionary is the natural shyness of | this young heathen- 4 girl who has been | hO0ted a, by her brothers, and excused and | apologized for by the feminine members of her household, Is not to be overburdened with | conceit; in fact, she is apt to be anything else, from painfully bashful to right down bad | tempered.
 Here then will come in well good dose oi | my usual p2Eacea-conlInon sense. Common | Sense will do more toward making ones life | and lot agreeable than anything else.
 Tell an ugly girl that the more she sulks and wrinkles her forehead and draws down the corners ot her mouth the uglier she will become-naturally. Tell her the more she eIaborates her complexion with red and white the more the -70rld will think she has to. Tel her the more she goes about lank and disheveled the more palpable will be the dif. ference between her and a girl whose features and clothes are equally regular. Teach heI that all the world Is not alike, and that while she herself admires a certain pretty woman there Is every possibility that there are plenty of people to whom she, if she would, mighi seem perfection.
 Raise her ideas of herself by any means Fib to her if necessary, but fin some way or another give her little comfort and little common senos. Then she will be happy, and will repay your trouble by blossoming oul like the rose. San Francisco Chronicle.
